WAREHOUSE OPERATIONS

Jul 8, 2016

Warehouse operations cover activities including receiving and storing materials, controlling and protecting inventory, and fulfilling customer orders, including picking, packing and shipping. Employees must understand standard work procedures, equipment operation and systems needed to fulfill customer orders. They also need to know how to receive, count and store inventory and other supplies. Many warehousing operations use digital tools to aid in inventory receipt and storage. Employees need training on use of these inventory tools. The trade “partsman” is the standard in many provinces.
